A graphic illustration of a right hand gently grasping a large arrow pointed diagonally upward. The thumb is up pointing in the same direction as the arrow. A smaller arrow underneath the hand indicates the direction to wrap the fingers around the large arrow. The title of the image is File:Right hand rule simple.png
me when I’m trying to remember the rotation of magnetic waves created by a current in a wire
Last time I checked a moving charge created a magnetic field, not a wave. And you determine the curl, not the rotation. You didn’t remember
me when I’m trying not to let some nerd get under my skin because I struggled greatly with electromagnetics
Those curved sin waves…
If you know what I mean 😉
🥴🥴🥴
I don’t get it, GlizzyGuzzler, is something strange about this image? Should I get off on this post?
You don’t remember the ol’ twist n’ yank method from your EE days??
the only twisting and yanking I did was pulling the wires out of my breadboard when I was done with it!
You’re missing out, it gets hot and heavy under the optics bench after lab hours
I suppose they would turn the air conditioning off when everyone leaves…
I once used my left hand for the right hand rule because i was writing with my right hand during a physics test
Needless to say, i got the wrong sign
You may use the left hand, if you use the technical direction of current from ‘+’ to ‘-’.
It is funny that this gestures are taught as some kind of mnemonics, but then some for some other application another mnemonic with the opposite hand and same gesture is introduced and I don’t ever remember which hand was associated with what anymore. So I remember something about hands that doesn’t get me anywhere.
I believe 3D graphics uses both to describe different coordinate systems (some are left handed and some are right)
Don’t even get started with y-up vs z-up
why even use the right hand rule when you can just take a random guess and be right half of the time
I have to admit that title is really clever
The ol’ twist and yank method
Sudden HHGttG vibes
Haha, a reference to Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy!
…torsion.
Who would ever use this?
Atomic spin and chemical bonds have entered the chat
Or angular momentum.
No thanks. I prefer the 3 variable left hand rule.
